  • A Case for Daylight Saving in Nigeria 

    Please, what are we using daylight to do? Let鈥檚 start saving it. For some of us, it鈥檚 all we can kuku save.

    Written By:

    Daylight saving is the practice of skipping clocks (typically by one hour) during warmer months so that darkness falls at a later time.There鈥檚 nothing Nigerians like more than extra time, and daylight saving is just the solution we all need to get more of it. Just think about it.

    Less time to spend at your job

    You鈥檙e sick of it anyway. If we were saving daylight you鈥檇 spend less hours nursing and powering through a headache. Where is the bad side, please? 

    Less time to put up with people鈥檚 rubbish

    Every time I鈥檓 outside fraternising, I鈥檓 reminded of how annoying humans are. If we save daylight, you wouldn鈥檛 have any reason to be outside calling somebody鈥檚 grandmother a witch because she insulted your short skirt. 

    Less time to worry about breakfast/dinner

    The worst thing about growing up is endlessly having to decide what to eat. If the day ends faster, you can worry less about this. 

    Less time reminding everyone you鈥檙e single 

    If you鈥檙e always asleep by 10 PM instead of wallowing in your singleness and tweeting up a storm about it, you鈥檇 find yourself in less situationships, and might finally get used to a life of loneliness. Can鈥檛 see the downside, TBH. 

    A break from fearing men

    You know how we鈥檙e like, 鈥淔ear men 24 hours a day鈥? You鈥檇 have more time to rest from doing that now.

    More time to spend on hobbies 

    With those extra hours on your hands, you finally get to catch up on all the neighbourhood or family gossip. Or pretend you鈥檙e actually interested in DIY.

    You鈥檙e the family disappointment for less hours in a day

    All those aunties always reporting you to your parents will do it earlier in the day so you can rest and get over it faster. A win is a win.
